Follow the brown tourist signs from the A140 Norwich-Cromer road to find the
City of Norwich Aviation Museum, a museum dedicated to keeping Norfolk's aviation
heritage alive. Dominating the museum's collection is a massive Avro Vulcan bomber, a veteran of
the Falklands War of 1982.
Eight other military and civilian aircraft are
on show, and although they are the main attraction
for many visitors, the most fascinating feature is the
display within the main exhibition building showing
the development of aviation in Norfolk. From the pioneering days of aviation to present-day civilian
and military operations, every aspect is covered in a
number of displays that are constantly being revised
and expanded. The major roles played by Norfolk-based aircraft during the great air battles
of World War II are remembered by exhibitions on
the USAAF 8th Air Force and the role of the Royal
Air Force in this conflict.
A special section is dedicated to the operations
of RAF Bomber Command's 100 Group which flew on electronic counter measure, deception and
night intruder missions from a number of Norfolk airfields.
